Confirmation bias. I have seen multiple different programmers developers etc that such a generalization just puts a smile on my face. Age, family status, location, family influences probably have more to do with the selection of a hobby rather than the text modification job alone. The last decades rendered us more or less exceptional and people like to play with this satisfactory idea. But programmers are no different to electricians or plumbers or architectural technicians, etc.
This is why I have such high hopes for AR for work. I can keep my job but still return to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of my distant ancestors…only I would be hunting bugs and gathering requirements.
>Current estimates suggest that as of this year, we need donor governments to invest around $37 billion every year until 2030

6 x $37B = $222B

That's ca. a quarter of the US yearly military budget.

But we still have feudalism.
I couldn't get past the paywall so I can comment on the headline. The answer to "is anyone listening" to an Autralian is "of course someone is listening".

We had prepared enough doses of the AstraZeneca to vaccinate the entire country. Then some people got blood clotting disorders, and a few died. Being over 60 I was prepared to take the risk, but I wasn't given the choice. Most of it was thrown away.

mRNA vaccines had lower risks, but no one would ship them to us. The plan was always to go into lock down until everybody who wanted to be vaccinated could be, so the end result was the country was in lock down for far longer than would have happened if, as the headline implies "no one was listening".

As for the inevitable few unfortunates who did get a severe reaction to the mRNA vaccine - they knew the risks. After AstraZeneca you would have to be living under a rock to not be aware every vaccine came with risks. I don't know about the rest of the world, but being vaccinated is a personal choice in Australia. The choice was take the best vaccine humanity could produce at short notice, or take your chances with COVID.
This is good advice. Just pick a resize dimension and try to resize everything that comes in. If it fails it's not an image.

You can hang an event off S3 and have a lambda that does the work / warns you of a bad upload.

It really is too bad WebGPU isn't supported on Linux, I mean, that's a no-brainer right there.

That's not a fair or relevant comparison. The OP is about ancient Greek music: the choir is singing a song derived from very old sheet music. The link you have is contemporary music inspired by Greek tunings. It's not at all the same thing.

> usually true, but the CEO is very clear here - when faced with a choice between security and something else

the challenge is "how can you prove that this risk will materialize and will cause $3 damage - while the pill costs $5 - and what will the shareholders do". I've been in Audit/GRC/Security for enough years to have had enough 'fights' on risk management. With very few exceptions, the money defines the risk and not the other way around.

If history has taught us anything, it will be IT-Sec-trainwrecks-all-the-way-down.

> but that’ll happen because the problem is hard to solve and not because people ignored what their CEO and senior leadership told them to do

no disrespect to a/this CEO.. but he is 'just' an employee. And he can always tell different things to the Townhalls and the Press/Media, but pull a U-turn. All he has to do is reduce the budget of X-dept, reduce the headcount/org-chart of Y-dept, and while the intentions are great, the effort is not supports (I've made one more comment on this thread about staffing initiatives somewhere higher/lower in this article's comments)
I'm conflicted when I read this. One the one hand, high quality vintage goods as humble as good cast iron frying pans or vintage Pyrex bowls are removed from the "can have nice things" sphere by collectors hoarding them, and this really rubs me the wrong way.

On the other hand, if it's possible to replace vintage books that have become too valuable with truly convincing fakes, the "can have nice things" thing is preserved; the public can have 99.99% of the experience of reading the originals. So what utility have the thieves really stolen, other than siphoned off the artificially inflated collector value?

In fact, why not do it proactively, across the board? Replace the super-valuable books with fakes of such high quality, and lock away the originals?
Transformers don't care if it is simulation or real data or even if you are using a different robot altogether. At some point it will be possible to show a robot a human demonstration and let it learn from that.
Yeah I sensed a bit of emotion in the previous comment.
Many bodybuilders are aiming to add as much muscle mass as their genetic potential allows, which can take more than a decade.

The point is about how the body adapts.
I agree with some of your points. Since the author is a non-native English speaker, there might be some grammatical issues in their English expressions. However, this is also constrained by the dataset; it's challenging to obtain sentences that are completely identical in both grammar and semantics. The author's main concern seems to be that when there are subtle semantic differences in inputs, the model shouldn't catastrophically fail. We can see examples like "Going ahead in an even pace," where previous models might even interpret it as moving backward. Or "A human utilizes his right arm to help himself to stand up," where the action of standing up might not even be present in other examples, posing serious problems. However, the author employs a similar approach to adversarial learning, enabling the model to learn expressions of actions that are similar to the original semantic sentences, which is already a significant improvement. We lack real motion data to learn expressions like "Going ahead in an even pace." The author also points out that there's a trade-off between stability and accuracy.

What a really fascinating article. I especially liked the humility wrt to being lacking in advanced math skills.
I read this as "cow" initially and it changes everything about your story. Especially the part when you say "clever little birds." That part did cause me to reread it.
Open source is a programmer thing. And the blunt truth is that being a programmer doesn't mean you are particularly good at "design".

And design by a committee of programmers often isn't any real improvement. Just as an example, this is how you end up with a local desktop GUI running through the network stack.

In automotive terms, open source is kinda like a Russian military vehicle.

It's cheap and it may get you where you need to go but it can seem kinda industrial and unrefined, the gas mileage is poor and it's not really a joy to drive.

And consequently, you don't see too many of these on the highway.
Exactly. Life is too short to work with such self absorbed people.
At an aquarium I watched a tropical fish have fun with a water jet. It would swim into the jet, get propelled from it across the tank, then swim back, repeating as long as I watched it.

Part of me felt bad for how bored it must've been living its life in such a tiny habitat. Part of me felt joy that it was indeed having fun doing loops in its waterpark.
There’s also the little issue of firefox not supporting HDR videos which with more and more OLED/miniLED monitors out there is a major drawback. I love FF and i daily drive it, but there are some glaring gaps in the feature set between chromium and ff.

Adding even more context, according to Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia [1], established by the Council of the European Union, „the shelling of Tskhinvali by the Georgian armed forces during the night of 7 to 8 August 2008 marked the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Georgia“

Its not just family offices. Billions of dollars from proceeds of corruption and crime from developing world and poor countries is parked in the real estate of western cities. But western governments turn a blind eye as this allows their 3 letter agencies to control corrupt foreign officials.

It's a point that's easily overlooked. Battery density only matters in vehicles that need to be small or light (like a sports vehicle or a plane). In a truck, sacrificing a few tons for some batteries is not that big of a deal. What matters more is the price of those batteries. As those prices come down, demand will go up by a lot. That's happening right now. It's been happening for a few years now.
Survival is success, and humans are social creatures, maintaining group aura is vital to all social animals' survival success.
They are. At this point it's a completely different language with its own stack, as far as I know that will be a core component for the forseable future.

Now they also have modern PHP and some other languages alongside with hack from what I understand.
> The English term’s meaning changed when it was re-borrowed.

Like the meaning of the term "anime" changed?
The worst I had to deal with was converting anything browser-native into data structures that would satisfy the type checker (dealing with native references), and the whole "struct or class instance" dichotomy. Specifically - when there is a lot of DOM-native input (like drag&drop events and their targets and the targets of their targets) that have to be "repackaged" into a TS tree (ending up with properties which would be a JS-version of void*).

An example of what I call "ceremony" would be

interface BlockIndex {
[key: string]: UploaderBlock;
}
const perServerId = {} as BlockIndex;
uploaderFiles.map((fe) => fe.blocks.map((b) => b.serverId && (perServerId[b.serverId] = b)));

While somewhat useful, this is in internal code which never gets used directly, and there are 4 lines of ceremony for 1 line of actual code.
Anti-kickback is a great feature on hammer drills, angle grinders etc.
> papers that lay the foundations for a whole field are usually very approachable. i'm not sure why this is

Kuhn talks about this in his works[1]. If I recall correctly, his argument is that when someone is creating a new field (new paradigm) there isn't pre-existing jargon to describe it in terms of, so it has to be described in accessible language.

It's once people start doing work inside the field that they start developing jargon and assuming things.

XSLT 3.0 defines an XML representation for JSON documents: https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#json

You wouldn’t really be able to tell. Figma is often just a tool for working out designs and building up a design system for your site. That later gets translated to your front end by your devs. Figma itself isn’t a styling library like tailwind, etc.
When you balance your ride in the back seat of a bicycle driven by a tiny teenager half your weight, it means you truly know how a bicycle goes.
I think the Danes are the top cyclists nation, I remember when I offered the principal of orphan school girls, to make an international call from my house instead of waiting for hours at the post office of my town in Syria back in the 70's, she encouraged me to ride my bicycle and not to worry about her riding behind me, I was scared from the imbalance but there was none, the looks and whistle of some people were a many though. The sight of 15 year old me pedaling while a big blond woman sitting behind me was amazing.
It looks like leaving a union is as simple as scanning a qr code, but joining it still requires compiling a form online
Those stats are based on public information so if someone starts a private project you won't even know it. It makes sense that a mature ecosystem would have fewer open source new projects.
Applied for Meta through a referral in 2023. Got ghosted.

Which is weird because recruiters reached out for both Meta and Google in 2021 and I passed their interview then. I took a job at a startup instead. Not sure if good or bad decision since both Meta and Google had mass layoffs.

So even if you cleared 2021 bar, 2023 results in being ghosted.

It’s a pretty absurd market. Unless you’re one of the few ML/AI scientists, it’s pretty rough out there.
> That’s not going to negatively affect your initial velocity, if it does, the team isn’t strong enough.

This. Note also that "a poor decision" might as well be "have developers fight the type system instead of delivering UI and pivoting if users don't like it".
They fixed that limitation with Swoole and other Fiber based frameworks.

Why are you talking as if embedding server-side logic in HTML is necessary to experiment and iterate quickly? I can get up and running with a Python project in seconds and can iterate quickly with that.

“This is good because it enables you to iterate quickly” isn’t a good argument when you can iterate quickly regardless.
> If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership.

Without worker consent? Then the notice is invalid. Surely this is detected when rhe union requests verification.

I cannot see how this trick could succeed, so I suspect misreporting.
Transmitting your thoughts telepathically across time and space is also pretty voodoo, yet here you are.
Huh? Which part of the article is saying that specifically???

They think they deserve? I don't think the article questions the validity of their desire to be treated with respect...only the validity of violence as response.

So... sounds like you think self esteem is the problem? So people should not expect to be treated with respect?

That seems like the kind of toxic position.

But I also think it's confusing the main issue: it seems unlikely that violent offenders are the type of people who were raised with an abundance of self esteem, you think they were treated so well that they felt so great about themselves that they reached for violence in response to insult? I'm no expert, but my view of violent offenders is they must come from very difficult circumstances, in general. Cycle of violence, right? Or you don't think so? Hahaha! :)

Kind of sounds like you're saying self esteem is the problem that leads to violence? So you think people shouldn't expect to be treated well? To not be humiliated? Shamed? Disrespected?

I think the problem is more: who is doing this humiliation, shaming and disrespect and that the response to that should not be violence.

On the whole tho it does not seem that people raised in a feel good environment, with an abundance of self-esteem would reach for violence as the response to not being treated well. The problem is not self esteem, but rather the abusers who are humiliating, shaming, and dispecting, or normalizing that -- and the choice of violence as response to that.
“When recruiters predicted the lowest probability of passing (0-5%), those candidates actually passed the technical interview with a 47% probability.”

Well, that’s disturbing.
Bookmark management of browsers is bad.
Unity is integrating a similar but more production-ready tool, Muse Animate, with their Muse platform. It does text-to-animation, and can fill in motion if you just provide keyframes. See usage here: https://youtu.be/tMCPz_yI7pY?si=OXAyxgGxHbCDywHm
Plenty on the Switch for example.

The thing with AAA games is that they can afford to remove the Unity logo.

By that logic we shouldn't walk on two feet either. Our ancestors didn't evolve to.
This is true in some aspects.

Instead of a PHP developer many are now calling themselves a Laravel developer because the framework is all they know.
Those were actual upgrades, though.

According to many, Windows UI/UX peaked in the Win2k/XP/Win7 era.

Among those, significant improvements: memory management, new/more stable drivers, 64-bit support, better use of multi-core cpu's, etc.

But since then: increased telem.. ehm, spying. Pushing ads everywhere. Mostly pointless UI overhauls again & again for little end-user benefit. If any.

It's sad that giants like MS seem so hell-bent on enshittifying their flagship products. Just imagine what could have been if MS had kept supporting, improving internals, and adding drivers to the 'oldie' OSes mentioned above. Or stick to minor upgrades leaving OS look & feel intact.

Sure there's tech limitations. But I dare you: name some application(s) that would be impossible on say, Win7 due to fundamental issues in its design (assuming MS & app developer were both on board to smooth out wrinkles). Anyone?
There is a indiehacker 'hackagu' meetup every Thursday at bwork coworking. Starts at 9am.
Okay, I don't think it's me that misunderstands that it's not a threat, I think it's me that's on your side.

Although your point is interesting and I hadn't considered it about the insurance policy aspect of the deployment.

What's your background? :) haha :)
There was a lot of tension relative to where PHP would be going, but php7 got it out of the tunnel (in no small parts because of hack, as you mention, buy not only). Some companies diversified before that, in particular moving to nodejs for instance, but others took php from there as it got a lot of attention again, and php8 didn't disappoint either.

There's still a ton of stuck that could be fixed, and php will always be talked down in some way or another but I don't think it's in a bad position as it is now. There's pretty significant code bases newly built on php right now, even if it's not making the headlines.
There are also cases where small teams that have grown grow unproportionally to the size of the product, and while the product is set up in a fairly sane way (and there is little wrong with it!) having 20 fresh people swarm into it destroys both the architecture and the execution. And with a small team enforcing cohesion for both of these is much easier! So a small project might as well stay small, but this should be somewhat a priority.

Mythical man month in action.
I recently redesigned my stack of validating uploaded files and creating thumbnails from them. My approach is to have different binaries per file type (currently images JPEG/PNG, videos H264/265 and truetype fonts). Each of them is implemented as in a way that they receive the raw data stream via stdin and then either generate an error message or a raw planar RGBA data stream via stdout. The validation and thumbnail process is triggered after first locking in the process in a seccomp strict mode jail before touching any of the untrustworthy data. Seccomp prevents them from basically every syscall except read/write. Even if there would be an exploit in the format parser, it would very likely not get anywhere as there’s literally nothing it could do except write to stdout. Outside a strict time limit is enforced.

The raw RGBA output is then received and converted back into PNG or similar. It was a bit tricky to get everything working without additional allocation and using syscalls triggered by glibc somewhere, but works pretty well now and is fast enough for my use case (around 20ms/item).
I like that typescript catches when I need to do null checks so I don't end up with the most notorious runtime error seared into the brain of every JS developer "cannot read property of undefined".

Some parts are nice, like the string literal typing "this" | "that". Other things are hacky, like "branded types", gross.

But then I think of my commercial codebase which is extremely well tested, regular old JS, and wonder if is worth the hassle.
